Snoring & Sleep Apnea Treatment

At Bow Family Dentistry, we know how vital quality sleep is for your overall health and well-being. Snoring and sleep apnea don’t just disrupt your nights—they can impact your energy, focus, and even long-term health. For patients seeking an effective, non-invasive alternative to CPAP machines, we offer custom dental appliances designed to keep your airways open and promote restful, uninterrupted sleep.

What Causes Snoring and Sleep Apnea?

Snoring occurs when air struggles to move freely through your airway during sleep, causing vibrations in the soft tissues of your throat. While occasional snoring may not be a concern, chronic snoring can indicate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a serious condition where the airway becomes partially or completely blocked. Common causes of snoring and sleep apnea include:
  • Relaxed throat muscles during sleep
  • Excess tissue or fat around the airway
  • Structural issues like a deviated septum
  • Enlarged tonsils or adenoids, particularly in children
If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to significant health risks, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and daytime fatigue. That’s why finding the right treatment is essential for your health and quality of life.

Custom Dental Appliances for Snoring and Sleep Apnea

For patients who struggle with CPAP machines or prefer a less invasive approach, custom dental appliances offer an effective alternative. These appliances are worn during sleep and work by repositioning the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open. Key benefits of dental appliances include:
  • Non-Invasive: No masks, hoses, or machines are required, making them more comfortable for many patients.
  • Custom Fit: Each appliance is tailored to your unique mouth shape, ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness.
  • Improved Sleep Quality: By reducing snoring and preventing airway blockages, these devices help you achieve deeper, more restorative sleep.
  • Portable and Convenient: Dental appliances are compact and easy to travel with, unlike bulky CPAP equipment.
These devices are particularly helpful for children and adults who have difficulty tolerating CPAP therapy or need an alternative solution.

How We Create Your Custom Appliance

At Bow Family Dentistry, we use advanced techniques to design and fit your dental appliance for optimal comfort and effectiveness. The process includes:
  1. Consultation: We’ll evaluate your symptoms, review your sleep study results (if applicable), and discuss your goals to determine if a dental appliance is the right option for you.
  2. Impressions: Detailed impressions or digital scans of your teeth and jaw are taken to ensure a precise fit.
  3. Fabrication: Your custom appliance is crafted using high-quality materials, designed to keep your airway open while being comfortable to wear.
  4. Fitting and Adjustments: Once your appliance is ready, we’ll ensure it fits properly and make any necessary adjustments to maximize its effectiveness.
We also provide guidance on how to care for your appliance and monitor your progress to ensure long-term success.

Why Treating Snoring and Sleep Apnea Matters

Addressing snoring and sleep apnea isn’t just about improving sleep—it’s about protecting your health. Benefits of treatment include:
